The annual seedlings of ten Toona Sinensis provenances were selected for the study of the relationship between cold resistance and fatty acid composition and content of leaves. The results indicated that the fatty acid composition was the same among different provenances. The main ones were Dodecanoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid, (Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, Octadecanoic acid and Eicosanoic acid. But there were evident differences in fatty acid content and index of unsaturated fatty acid (IUFA) among different provenances. The content of unsaturated fatty acid and the IUFA was smaller in southern provenances of Xiapu of Fujian, Qianxinan of Guizhou and Dongkou of Hunan than those of the other provenances from north .The fatty acid content and IUFA were higher in provenances whose cold resistance were stronger. And the results showed that the fatty acid content and IUFA had a positive correlation with cold resistance of Toona sinensis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
